Learn from failure

You learn more from failure than you do success. I know this to be true.

In my mind, failure is only when you quit or choose not to see the lesson in what’s happening. It’s when you stop trying. The road to success is full of “failures”, set backs and things that didn’t work out.

So many of us give up as soon as things get hard. We take it as a sign that it’s not meant to be. Or we get full of mindset junk thinking we are unworthy or not good enough or just not cut out to do it. So we quit. We stop trying to reach our goal. We fall back into what’s comfortable which is the mundane every day parts of life. We would rather that instead of feeling the uncomfortable feelings of growth. But you guys, THIS IS WHEN THE GOOD STUFF HAPPENS. The difference between people who reach their goals and those who don’t is this exact part in the journey. Many quit…but the ones who go on to reach their goals and succeed, don’t quit. They get up again. They look for the lesson in what’s happening. They ask themselves “What can I learn from this situation”? They use it as a tool to move forward, instead of using it as an excuse to quit.

The times were things get tough are what make us. They are allow us to grow. Every “no” gets you closer to your “yes”. Every detour gets you closer to the RIGHT path to your goal.

And for full disclosure, I have “failed” many times. SO MANY TIMES. There actually have been times where I just quit. I didn’t want to learn the lesson. And the universe kept presenting me with the same scenario in different ways until I learned the lesson. I didn’t get to where I am today easily. I fought to get here today. My journey has been a full on rollercoaster ride at times…and I’m grateful for that. “Failing” doesn’t feel good. It’s uncomfortable. It can make you question everything about yourself. The difference with me now is that when I go through these periods, I get excited because I know huge growth is on the other side of it. We need to go through those valleys to get to the peaks - it’s all part of the journey xo
